1. install Zotfile plugin

I think we're going to have to just block the import with an error if ZotFile is enabled, since this creates an awful, confusing import experience.

Oh, wait, sorry — Zotero 6 will create those if there's no PDF available. ZotFile moving the file during the import process probably causes it to think the file isn't available, because ZotFile actual

@rgm43: Well, and as I told Monika — if you're seeing "Extracted Annotations" after a Mendeley import, that would actually be from Zotero 5's Mendeley importer, not ZotFile. Zotero 6 doesn't create th

ZotFile is a third-party plugin, so our documentation obviously wouldn't mention it, any more than it would mention other plugins that might do things we have no control over. We explain exactly how t

I'm a new Zotero user (one of 1000s jumping ship from Mendeley!) using macOS Catalina. Yesterday I downloaded Zotero 6 and Zotfile, and set up Zotfile to rename & save pdfs in a Dropbox folder (I have

I see the question in many places and the answer has been to use Zotfile. But in Zotero's internal PDF reader having a way to specify the name or meaning of the annotation colors would be fantastic.

ZotFile doesn't do annotation extractions anymore because that's now built into Zotero. You'd use Zotfile to have more finely-tuned renaming rules for files and/or to move&link your Files instead of s

Since we can extract annotations from PDFs into Word/Google Docs directly, why would one use Zotfile?

I have a few a few instances of Zotero (2 laptops) sharing the same account and I have been syncing between them. A few days ago in one of them I installed Zotfile and made a few changes (selected a r

I just try zotfile with xodo pdf but not working.

FWIW I don't recall Zotfile ever failing to move a PDF for me. It's worked fine for ~3500 PDFs.

I'm pretty sure there have been reports of ZotFile not removing the linked files from the storage folder under some conditions. If that's what's happening (and it'd certainly explain the lack of drop

My Zotfile Custom Location folder of linked PDFs is ~10 GB.

The count includes embedded notes for attachment items (e.g., a table of contents added by the ZotFile plugin).

Not with Zotero's own renaming, but ZotFile (which you can use *just* to rename files without any of its other features) has that option, see the last of the examples in the documentation.

Whenever I have done bulk moves with Zotfile, I have done it in smaller chunks. You have a lot of items and attachments. So for example sort your library alphabetically by title or creator, and then s

You can't sync Zotero Desktop annotations to iOS via ZotFile, no.

Thanks for the response. I have an older iPad that runs iOS 12.5.6. I cannot download the Zotero iOS app on this. Is there a way I can use zotfile to seamlessly transfer annotations between my PC and
